I got this one, too, but for neuropscyh. I literally cried. I started out with 8 rejections and 1 "we will still rank you but we're not interviewing you" and was feeling hopeless. Now I have 5 interviews including my top 3 sites. This has been such an emotional rollercoaster!
Congratulations! This is such an absolute rollercoaster. You deserve those happy tears! 😊
 
Has anyone heard from the following programs/still waiting to hear from:

-BOP Butner (after being invited to USAjobs)
-UC Davis TAMI
-Nicoletti-Flater Associates
-Superior Court of DC
-Denver Health Corrections
-Harris County

???
I am attempting to be patient for BOP Butner, Nicoletti-Flater, Superior Court of DC, and Harris County as well... Hopefully we hear something soon!
 
Rejection: Texas Woman's University via mass email on 12/9

Rejection: UTHSC Memphis (St. Jude) via mass email on 12/10

Official Site Name: UT Dallas Counseling Center

Specialty Track or Site (e.g., for consortiums): N/A

Waiting on the final 6 (I def see a huge time difference in notification from UCCs I applied to vs academic hospitals. Just now getting the UCCs in.)
I did my undergrad at UTD and was a program coordinator at a recovery center that was under the counseling center's umbrella. PM me if you have any questions about facilities/student population. A lot has changed in the SCC since I was there but I could definitely answer questions.
 
Onward and upward to all of us! <3 we've got this....this rejection was just making way for better things to come! And more time to focus on the invites we do have!
So very true! we got this and we are all AMAZING! We all will have wonderful experiences 🙂

I love this positive message! Thank you 🙂

Congrats!! This is an amazing site!
 
FBOP people- Does anyone have an idea on potential interview dates FMC Rochester, FCC Victorville, or Butner?
 
Ahh fair question, sorry for the confusion. San Francisco for me!
Someone in my cohort received an interview invitation for University of San Francisco CAPS on Monday of this week. I don’t have more details than that though. Good luck!
 
Has anyone received notification from Mount Sinai St. Luke’s?
 
Did anyone else apply to the Gulf Coast VA in Biloxi, MS? That’s one of my favorites right now. Their notification date is the 21st, which is so far away! I told my partner that given the proximity to Christmas, I’m either going to have a great Christmas or a bummer Christmas depending on what they say. These late notification dates are killer.

I did as well! I feel the same way to be honest!
 
Your old Aunt Sue here, checking in before what is sure to be a long weekend! I hope y'all are making it and taking good care of yourselves, with lots of takeout and time outdoors to balance the email refreshing.

It was a hard week for your AuntSue. Thanks for declining me for an interview, McLean, but if you won't let me in the back door, I may have to come through the front! However, I must say that the well-wishes from my SDN nieces and nephews do make it all a little better. Folks can say what they will about *the blogs,* but celebrating your successes and watching your mutual support following rejections warms my big heart and bosom. If I had it my way, we'd all be going on internship together.

Stay well, all. As always, remember I'm SO EXCITED for every one of you!

For Butner, I have not heard anything regarding the OF-5 or about the interview dates yet. When I spoke to the regional office (psychologist) to schedule my CVA, she did mention that Butner did not send anything out yet.

Did Baylor/Texas Children's Hospital send out rejections yet? I know they did offers a while back and their APPIC notification deadline is 12/15, but I just wanted to get a feel for if they are sending rejections sooner or if I'll just have to wait for the confirmed rejection on 12/15.I am
I just received a rejection from Baylor.
 
Any updates from NC Som? I guess I should prepare myself for another rejection.
